'Training and Education
The trend of upward growth in terms of programs offered and
students trained continued for the Office of Training and
Education (OTE) during 1983. In addition to the sustained
growth, man ctivities were initiated. There was an
increase of students in OTE-conducted courses (35%
increase over 1982) and an increase of employees enrolled
in external training (58% increase over 1982). In the past
year, O`I'E increased the total number of courses offered from 90
to 121, an increase of 34 percent.
OTE''s accomplishments during the 1983 calendar year
continue to reflect the goal of providing training and programs
that are responsive to customer requirements. The initial
steps towards developing a Computer-Based Education system for
the Agency were begun in OTE's Language School. It is hoped
that instructor-developed and purchased programs will permit
the training of additional students and will generate a greater
intensity of student interest in the achievement of language
skills. The O'?E Information Science Center (ISC) continues to
reduce the backlog for computer skills training and, at the
same time, has developed and presented courses which cover
systems recently incorporated by the Agency such as NOMAD and
CAMS II. Seminars on Artificial Intelligence were hosted by
the ISC for.both executive level managers and mid--level
analysts. Hundreds of analysts and managers from the
Intelligence Community were trained to use the SAFE system.
The Management School introduced a new program entitled
"Agency Orientation and Office Procedures," with the first
offering in June 1983. This Course not only provides
newly-hired clerical employees with the needed orientation
training, but also introduces formats for Agency documentation,
telephone skills, and word processing skills. After a few
weeks of training, the new clerical is ready to step into the
office environment and assume a full range of responsibilities.

The Executive Development Staff was formed during 1.983 and
a zero-base review of the Agency's senior officer training was
conducted. After thorough research into other major senior
executive training programs in academia, government, and
business, a new Executive Development Program was proposed.
After receiving further refinements as a result of internal
Agency surveys and discussions, the new program was approved
with the first offering scheduled during February 198.9.
The Intelligence Training Division/Analyst Training Branch
experienced a more than 100 percent increase in the number of
courses conducted for the Directorate of Intelligence (DI).
The courses were developed in response to a priority DI
objective to improve the professional expertise of analysts.
Included among these new programs was a six-week course in
military analysis, which is unique to the US Government, and a
six-week course for all new analysts which provides for the
transition between academia and the analytical environment.
Many additional new courses are scheduled to be offered during
FY 1984 if resources permit.
In addition to new courses being added to the curriculum,
O'BE's support functions continued to serve the best interests
of the US Government. During January 1983, OTE's Training
Support Division coordinated an abbreviated running of the Air
Force's Nuclear Weapons Orientation Advanced Course in the
Agency's Headquarters Auditorium. By arranging the Course in
the Washington Metropolitan Area there was an approximate
savings of $75,000 by the CIA alone in travel costs which would
have been incurred by attending the offering at Kirtland Air
Force Base, New Mexico. Since the Course was open to the
Intelligence Community as well, additional savings were
realized by the Navy and the Defense Intelligence Agency.

Congressional approval was received in November 1983 for
upgrading OTE's airlift capability.
OTE's long-term funding requirements are geared to
providing the necessary equipment, classrooms, training
materials, independent contractors and related services in
order to equip employees at every level with the necessary
skills ;to perform effectively in the Agency's work environment.
One of the critical elements in the enhancement of the
Training facility (C of C Building) has been the construction
of the Communications Equipment Room (CER) and four new
classrooms. The classrooms will be fully equipped and ready
for usage in January 1984. The CER is expected to be
operational by mid-1984. The Self-Contained Training Facility
(SCTF)~is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter
of 1984, allowing for greater utilization of the'Center for
expanded operations training courses and other OTE, Agency and
Intelligence Community programs.
